Re: [Digital BW] Dmax Has Dropped - same paper / ink

2006-08-11 by Terry Ritz

I shook both the MK and LLK. . .  no improvement. 

The weather has been noticeably warmer here this week and the air
conditioner has been running a lot. Last week was cooler, when I
printed the higher Dmax wedges. Since the A/C sucks moisture out of
the air perhaps humidity is the issue (of lack thereof).

The other change I made in and around when the change started was to
insert PK and make some glossy prints. A number of prints were made
after switching back to MK but the issue remains. I don't suspect the
ink switch as being part of the problem but given the timing it's
worth noting.

Thanks for the feedback.

Terry.
